The perils of streaming movies while sleepy.

I know I should be better about recognizing when it’s time to sleep, regardless of what the clock says. But darn it, there are only so many waking hours in a day, and now that I don’t have hundreds of papers in front of me to grade, I want to do fun things. Like watch movies with my better half.

Streaming video is, of course, a great boon for us (not least because I hate nodding off in the middle of a movie I’ve paid ten bucks to see).

But.

Sometimes, I end up as engrossed as possible (given my sleep debt) in one movie, then I drift off for what seems like just a moment, and I encounter something on the screen that seems like it might be the same movie … until it doesn’t.

And then I’m left having to double-check with my better half that the Benazir Bhutto assassination plot did not, in fact, involve zombies.
